If you, as a student [of Dafa], do not follow Master’s
requirements, it is definitely no simple thing. The old forces have arranged for
all Dafa disciples a set of their things, so if a Dafa disciple doesn’t follow
Master’s requirements, he must be following the old forces’ arrangements. The
old forces are in essence gigantic trials and tribulations that accompany you at
all times, focused on whether in Fa-rectification Dafa disciples are able to
step forward.

If after going through this ordeal some students are still not clearheaded, then
they will miss [the opportunities presented in] all of this. Only when you
follow Master’s requirements are you validating the Fa and cultivating yourself
as a Dafa disciple, and only then are you a true Dafa disciple.
